spanish is draconic? i thought we all agreed that draconic is german

edit: also as a brazilian, portuguese is too goofy for abyssal

Actually Draconic is Spanish cuz Celestial is Latin, and Elvish is French cuz they snooty (also a romance language). Dwarves can be Portuguese, as a little treat :3

I vote Dutch for dwarvish. As a brazilian , portuguese could be gnomish or smth

Sotaque mineiro pra experiencia anã completa, sô

Mineiro accent for full dwarfish experience

I don't think dragons have the soft tissue necessary to pronounce the consonant clusters like Strumpf.

i dont know about D&D but in pathfinder basically all dragons can speak a whole bunch of languages, so i'd be surprised if there's something in a human language they couldn't pronounce

Sylvan should be Old Spanish like the faun in Pans Labyrinth

Man, I should watch that again. It's been ages.

Brazilian Portuguese is too "melodic" for abyssal, but some European Portuguese accents can work.

eh pt portuguese would work better for elvish

pt-pt eats so many vowels you'd think it's some sort of earth elemental tongue

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

yeah, maybe it could be goblin language. goblins like eating everything too
